.NET: Check URL's response status code?

First answer will return "url status". Then check the return status with if condition == "400" .. etc.

An example;


List< string > urls = new List< string >
urls.add("www.google.com");
urls.add("www.ggg.com");

foreach(var url in urls)
{
     //cast string to HttpResponse will need here...
     if( GetHeaders(url).ToString() == "400" )
         MessageBox.Show(url + " status code is 400");
}

Something like that...

Look into webresponse:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webresponse.aspx

you can do something with that response I suppose.

Please take a look on WebClient and Uri classes.

With WebClient class (from System.Net namespace) you can check whether resource referred by Url is available:

bool resourceAvailable = false;

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

try
{
    string pageContent = webClient.DownloadString("http://www.someResource.com");
    resourceAvailable = !String.IsNullOrEmpty(pageContent);
}
catch (WebException) { }

// then you can perform actions depending on value of resourceAvailable flag (variable)

With Uri class you can check whether url address is properly formatted:

Uri.IsWellFormedUriString("http://www.someAddress.com", UriKind.Absolute); // will return true
Uri.IsWellFormedUriString("not an uri", UriKind.Absolute); // will return false

You can also use UriBuilder class to complete fromatting of URLs.
